Cheat Codes features contributions from MF DOOM, Raekwon, Kid Sister and more.
The Roots’ Black Thought and Danger Mouse have announced the release of a long-rumoured collaborative album.
Cheat Codes is poised for arrival on August 12th and will mark Danger Mouse’s first full-length foray in to hip-hop since his critically acclaimed 2005 collaborative album with the late MF DOOM. Among the slew of collaborators set to accompany the pair on their forthcoming project are Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon, SAULT component Kid Sister, Michael Kiwanuka, Run The Jewels and DOOM.
A press release details the project as “an album untethered to any genre, era or trend — uncategorizeable and timeless. It is the sound of the pair observing their own culture and asking questions they still may not have the answers to.”
